I was sort of dreading coming home to today's movie - and you know that it's bad when I spent all day at work printing and slicing post cards. Not even joking - all day! I actually feel a little sore from the repetitive motion. Whine whine whine. I'm not a big fan of today's movie -
West Side Story directed by Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise in 1961. I saw it a long time ago, most recently in the beginning of high school when I was being forced to sing a song from it (I was a total goth girl in high school, I'm not sure why this song was chosen for me. Perhaps hatred).
I wish I could have some interesting story of how now, shod of my goth boots, I could see the fun magic and unicorns of the story or something. Not so much. I still really dislike it. I really don't enjoy any of the songs, and find most of them sort of badly written and lazy lyrically. I think it's simply too long of a movie, and also pretty boring. I also just as a rule dislike musicals and musical theater, which makes this movie totally not my taste. I can understand why people like the movie, but personally, nothing about it works for me.
